Timothy James DOUCE Our beloved son T.J. (Timothy James) Douce, 25, passed away on February 2, 2011. TJ grew up in Sammamish, Washington and attended Eastlake and Juanita High School where he graduated in 2003. He proudly served his country in the Army for 4 years with deployment for 14 months in Iraq (Attack Co. 1-38th Bde. 2nd Id Styker Brigade) and was awarded a Commendation Medal and the bronze service star. The many friendships that began from that experience brought to him a special bond of brotherhood that is still there today. He enjoyed sports (GO SEAHAWKS!), movies and good old rock and roll. In life T.J. was a giving soul and in death he will do the same with one last gift of life of organ donation. He is survived by his parents, Mark and Gayle Douce and his brother, Andrew, Fiancée Brittany Oyer, Grandmother Sally Elliott, Uncles and Aunts Scott Mattson (Trish) Jeannie Carney, Kathy Gray, Molly Douce (Carla) and Herb Douce (Dawn) Cousins Carrie, Suzanne, Julie, Will, Zachary, Bonnie, David, Glenn, Isabel, Henry, Michael, Laura, Cody and Maggie and all the many friends that loved him dearly. We are celebrating T.J.'s life on Saturday February 19, 2011 from 1-5 p.m. at the VFW Hall 4330 148th Avenue NE, Redmond, WA Potluck and reception to follow. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the gift of life through organ donation.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Mark, Gayle, Andrew and Brittany, this is still hard to believe. TJ was a fixture as one of "the boys", a broad grin from the back seat of the car, a consumer of lasagna and an important part of our son Justin's life. We will miss him, but will remember with great affection. Peace to you all.

Thank you Lori, I remember that, TJ never changed when it came to things like that, probably mastered it by now, and Teresa thank you, I know we are in similar situations.

I would like to express my condolences to Tim's family and Brittany. I went to High School with Tim. I remember the first time I went to his house he had flowers for me :-). He was always kind, funny, thoughtful, and caring.
I found this beautiful cat one day and Tim helped me name her, and hide her from my parents for a couple days. He was going to take the cat home and keep her, but somehow when he was over at my house he and I talked my mom into letting me keep her. Still to this day I have Bojangles and I partially have Tim to thank for that. Good memories. I will miss you.
Always missed, loved, and never forgotten.
